A toast to Patricia Bosworth, a friend from The Actors Studio. An actress of subtle beauty with a quiver of talents, she wrote brilliantly about friends Clift and Brando and honestly about of her extraordinary life. Read and know what she knew well. RIP. ⁦@PaceUniversity⁩

A toast to 3 artists C virus stole: great playwright Terence McNally whose work we did @yaledrama & @TheatreAck; versitile actor Mark Blum from Public Theatre days; and David Schramm, perfect as Robert McNamara in Kennedy. Long may their work live. (Muse by Melissa.MacLeod180)

@Lolitachakra @AdrianLester The late Maureen Stack taught English playwright Lolita Chakrabarti well - see Lolita’s excellent plays when you can, and those starring her great actor husband Adrian Lester. @greyladymovie @lionsgatefilms @ACK

My fellow Americans, please check out my buddy Jon Pousette-Dart’s song “Words” on YouTube, the perfect tune for tonight’s State of the Union address. 📌

It’s just another late 1960s animal house party, Roger Williams Hall Bates College before Jimi Hendricks played; can you spot me? (We’re curious about the year: What say you?) https://t.co/pViW7vTWf1

In praise of Russell Baker who called Nantucket home for many years. A tribute from the next generation of islanders to be “Growing Up” in his wake.
“We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.”

The original Nantucket Edward Gorey designs for Dracula. I helped John Wulp and Gorey paint the sets, all black and white with touches of red. John and Edward each won a Tony, as did Frank Langella. At young age they taught me what was possible when creative spirits collaborate.

John Wulp, a mentor, just passed away. John hired me out of Yale to help him start a theatre. His brilliant ‘73 production of Dracula, with designs by Edward Gorey, moved from Nantucket to Broadway, won a Tony, ran for 2 years & ignited a vampire craze that still burns: genius.

The Prince of Darkness hath awakened. Boo!

Dracula’s coffin top, original design by the late great Edward Gorey for the Nantucket Stage Co. and the Theatre Workshop of Nantucket, designs that won a Tony on Broadway. Happy Halloween vampire lovers!

If you’re on Nantucket 8/ 16 or 18 see The Theatre Workshop’s production of Orson Welles’ Moby Dick 7:00 in the Whaling Museum. That’s me as Ahab under a 50’ sperm whale! Seven years sold out; don’t miss it. #ACK photo: C. Thomson
